Have you carried out a successful con? Perhaps you hustled a few quid off a stranger, or defrauded a multi-national company. Or have you been taken for the wide-eyed, naive rube that you are?

Hospital car parkWhen my better half was giving birth I had no choice but to use the carpark. This is charged at £1 per hour!!(robbing fucks) upto a daily maximum of five pounds a day.
Having been there for 2 days my ticket was now going to cost me ten pounds.
I'm so worked up about the fact that you even have to PAY to park to go see your sick/dying/birthing loved ones that it's all I allegedly go on about whilst there.
But wait. On the ticket machine where you pay your fees and get an exit ticket I spy a sign. Lost tickets are charged at the full day rate of five pounds. Woo Hoo half price.
I press the buzzer and speak to the monkey on the other end.
'yes?'
'I've lost my ticket for the carpark'
'okay just go to the barrier and press the call button'
'cool'
I get there press the button, speak to the monkey again and teh barrier magically lifts in front of my eyes.
FREE
Woo Hoo
Apparantly I couldn't shut up about that either.
